God's<00:02:35.219><c> words.</c>

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.360
After<00:02:36.719><c> you've</c><00:02:36.960><c> thought</c><00:02:37.099><c> about</c><00:02:37.300><c> this</c><00:02:37.520><c> a</c><00:02:37.639><c> bit,</c>

00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:22.379

Here<00:04:28.220><c> is</c><00:04:28.339><c> an</c><00:04:28.480><c> example</c><00:04:28.759><c> of</c><00:04:28.899><c> this.</c>

laugh,<00:04:35.519><c> saying,</c>

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.399
Shall<00:04:36.439><c> I</c><00:04:36.660><c> of</c><00:04:36.800><c> a</c><00:04:36.959><c> surety</c><00:04:37.199><c> bear</c><00:04:37.420><c> a</c><00:04:37.560><c> child,</c><00:04:38.180><c> which</c><00:04:38.339><c> am</c><00:04:38.480><c> old?</c>

The<00:04:40.759><c> Lord</c><00:04:41.019><c> was</c><00:04:41.220><c> there</c><00:04:41.459><c> speaking</c><00:04:41.759><c> to</c><00:04:41.980><c> him.</c>

00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.660
This<00:04:43.180><c> is</c><00:04:43.379><c> God's</c><00:04:43.740><c> name,</c><00:04:44.439><c> so</c><00:04:44.600><c> it</c><00:04:44.699><c> would</c><00:04:44.800><c> make</c><00:04:45.000><c> sense</c><00:04:45.180><c> that</c><00:04:45.319><c> it</c><00:04:45.399><c> was</c><00:04:45.540><c> him</c><00:04:45.740><c> who</c><00:04:45.899><c> was</c><00:04:46.060><c> there</c><00:04:46.259><c> speaking</c><00:04:46.540><c> to</c><00:04:46.779><c> Abraham.</c>

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.699
He<00:04:49.259><c> appeared</c><00:04:49.540><c> to</c><00:04:49.759><c> Abraham.</c>

00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:52.579
Abraham<00:04:51.060><c> and</c><00:04:51.279><c> Sarah</c><00:04:51.439><c> prepared</c><00:04:51.759><c> a</c><00:04:51.939><c> meal</c><00:04:52.100><c> for</c><00:04:52.259><c> him,</c>

something<00:05:00.680><c> fairly</c><00:05:01.100><c> striking.</c>

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:04.620
Something<00:05:02.639><c> that</c><00:05:02.800><c> does</c><00:05:02.980><c> not</c><00:05:03.120><c> seem</c><00:05:03.279><c> to</c><00:05:03.480><c> fit</c><00:05:03.579><c> with</c><00:05:03.759><c> our</c><00:05:03.939><c> understanding</c><00:05:04.339><c> of</c><00:05:04.459><c> him</c>

Thus<00:06:49.259><c> one</c><00:06:49.699><c> of</c><00:06:49.819><c> these</c><00:06:49.980><c> men</c><00:06:50.180><c> stood</c><00:06:50.399><c> before</c><00:06:50.740><c> Abraham</c><00:06:51.199><c> and</c><00:06:51.660><c> spoke</c>

00:06:51.899 --> 00:06:52.600
to<00:06:52.120><c> him.</c>

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.220
From<00:06:53.259><c> there</c><00:06:53.480><c> comes</c><00:06:53.720><c> the</c><00:06:53.939><c> dialogue</c><00:06:54.220><c> in</c><00:06:54.399><c> which</c><00:06:54.540><c> Abraham</c><00:06:54.899><c> seeks</c>

00:06:55.220 --> 00:06:56.720
to<00:06:55.439><c> reason</c><00:06:55.639><c> with</c><00:06:55.860><c> God.</c>

00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.220
He<00:06:56.879><c> pleads</c><00:06:57.180><c> to</c><00:06:57.360><c> God</c><00:06:57.480><c> to</c><00:06:57.660><c> save</c><00:06:57.920><c> Sodom</c><00:06:58.180><c> if</c><00:06:58.399><c> fifty</c><00:06:58.699><c> righteous</c><00:06:59.040><c> are</c>

found<00:06:59.420><c> therein.</c>

00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.040
He<00:07:00.420><c> then</c><00:07:00.620><c> drops</c><00:07:00.819><c> down</c><00:07:01.040><c> to</c><00:07:01.199><c> forty,</c><00:07:01.939><c> then</c><00:07:02.120><c> moves</c><00:07:02.319><c> down</c><00:07:02.540><c> to</c><00:07:02.680><c> thirty</c><00:07:02.920><c> and</c>

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.240
so<00:07:03.279><c> on.</c>

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:07.040
The<00:07:04.579><c> other</c><00:07:04.759><c> two</c><00:07:04.939><c> men</c><00:07:05.079><c> go</c><00:07:05.240><c> down</c><00:07:05.420><c> to</c><00:07:05.620><c> Sodom</c><00:07:05.860><c> as</c><00:07:06.300><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.040
Remember<00:07:07.759><c> that</c><00:07:07.939><c> God</c><00:07:08.120><c> had</c><00:07:08.319><c> said</c><00:07:08.420><c> that</c><00:07:08.600><c> he</c><00:07:08.720><c> would</c><00:07:08.819><c> go</c><00:07:09.000><c> to</c><00:07:09.180><c> Sodom.</c>

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:14.339
So<00:07:11.060><c> all</c><00:07:11.500><c> three</c><00:07:11.720><c> of</c><00:07:11.860><c> these</c><00:07:12.019><c> men</c><00:07:12.600><c> represent</c><00:07:13.259><c> God</c><00:07:13.540><c> and</c><00:07:13.680><c> are</c><00:07:13.899><c> called</c><00:07:14.100><c> by</c>

00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.860
The<00:07:16.040><c> two</c><00:07:16.220><c> men</c><00:07:16.379><c> go</c><00:07:16.540><c> down</c><00:07:16.779><c> to</c><00:07:16.980><c> Sodom</c><00:07:17.180><c> as</c><00:07:17.439><c> Yahweh</c><00:07:17.860><c> in</c><00:07:18.279><c> order</c><00:07:18.480><c> to</c><00:07:18.699><c> fulfill</c><00:07:18.920><c> what</c><00:07:19.100><c> God</c><00:07:19.279><c> had</c><00:07:19.540><c> said</c><00:07:19.680><c> in</c>

00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.560
Then<00:07:22.399><c> the</c><00:07:22.839><c> other</c><00:07:23.079><c> man</c><00:07:23.339><c> stays</c><00:07:23.600><c> before</c><00:07:23.980><c> Abraham</c><00:07:24.420><c> to</c><00:07:24.879><c> speak</c><00:07:25.100><c> to</c><00:07:25.259><c> him,</c>

00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:29.199
and<00:07:26.019><c> this</c><00:07:26.279><c> man</c><00:07:26.420><c> is</c><00:07:26.639><c> called</c><00:07:26.800><c> Yahweh</c><00:07:27.139><c> as</c><00:07:27.360><c> well</c><00:07:27.639><c> in</c><00:07:27.860><c> verse</c><00:07:28.000><c> 22.</c>

00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:34.040
If<00:07:31.379><c> the</c><00:07:31.680><c> story</c><00:07:31.839><c> just</c><00:07:32.160><c> ended</c><00:07:32.339><c> there,</c><00:07:33.259><c> we</c><00:07:33.379><c> would</c><00:07:33.540><c> only</c><00:07:33.740><c> be</c><00:07:33.939><c> able</c>

00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:40.439
All<00:07:36.939><c> three</c><00:07:37.120><c> of</c><00:07:37.279><c> them</c><00:07:37.379><c> were</c><00:07:37.639><c> called</c><00:07:37.779><c> Yahweh</c><00:07:38.420><c> and</c><00:07:38.920><c> yet</c><00:07:39.019><c> they</c><00:07:39.160><c> were</c><00:07:39.319><c> not</c><00:07:39.459><c> omniscient.</c>

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:43.180
It<00:07:41.060><c> is</c><00:07:41.259><c> probably</c><00:07:41.439><c> very</c><00:07:41.699><c> tempting</c><00:07:42.000><c> for</c><00:07:42.199><c> many</c><00:07:42.399><c> Trinitarians</c><00:07:43.000><c> to</c>

Now<00:13:32.980><c> arise,</c><00:13:33.860><c> get</c><00:13:34.100><c> thee</c><00:13:34.279><c> out</c><00:13:34.500><c> from</c><00:13:34.679><c> this</c><00:13:34.899><c> land,</c><00:13:35.519><c> and</c><00:13:35.600><c> return</c><00:13:35.940><c> unto</c><00:13:36.159><c> the</c><00:13:36.259><c> land</c><00:13:36.399><c> of</c>

thy<00:13:36.700><c> kindred.</c>

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.759
You<00:13:39.200><c> will</c><00:13:39.399><c> notice</c><00:13:39.679><c> that</c><00:13:39.960><c> it</c><00:13:40.100><c> was</c><00:13:40.259><c> an</c><00:13:40.539><c> angel</c><00:13:41.000><c> that</c><00:13:41.379><c> had</c><00:13:41.539><c> spoken</c>

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.740
to<00:13:41.919><c> Jacob.</c>

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:46.799
The<00:13:43.080><c> angel</c><00:13:43.320><c> called</c><00:13:43.600><c> out</c><00:13:43.759><c> his</c><00:13:43.940><c> name,</c><00:13:44.360><c> Jacob,</c><00:13:45.039><c> and</c><00:13:45.740><c> then</c><00:13:45.919><c> proceeded</c><00:13:46.220><c> to</c><00:13:46.500><c> speak</c><00:13:46.679><c> to</c>

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.340
him<00:13:46.980><c> about</c><00:13:47.159><c> the</c><00:13:47.399><c> animals</c><00:13:47.639><c> of</c>

00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:53.000
He<00:13:48.960><c> then</c><00:13:49.200><c> says,</c><00:13:50.419><c> I</c><00:13:50.419><c> am</c><00:13:50.659><c> the</c><00:13:50.779><c> God</c><00:13:51.019><c> of</c><00:13:51.220><c> Bethel,</c><00:13:51.980><c> where</c><00:13:52.000><c> thou</c><00:13:52.139><c> anointest</c><00:13:52.559><c> the</c><00:13:52.679><c> pillar,</c>

00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:55.320

00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.279
The<00:13:56.259><c> angel</c><00:13:56.679><c> just</c><00:13:57.279><c> told</c><00:13:57.539><c> Jacob</c><00:13:57.980><c> that</c><00:13:58.679><c> he</c><00:13:58.980><c> was</c><00:13:59.159><c> the</c><00:13:59.299><c> God</c><00:13:59.440><c> from</c><00:13:59.600><c> Bethel.</c>

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.659
The<00:14:00.980><c> angel</c><00:14:01.360><c> was</c><00:14:01.559><c> the</c><00:14:01.679><c> one</c><00:14:01.779><c> that</c><00:14:01.960><c> Jacob</c><00:14:02.200><c> saw</c><00:14:02.460><c> above</c><00:14:02.659><c> the</c><00:14:02.879><c> ladder,</c><00:14:03.559><c> the</c>

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:06.240
one<00:14:03.820><c> that</c><00:14:04.100><c> scripture</c><00:14:04.419><c> called</c><00:14:05.019><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.419
He<00:14:06.700><c> is</c><00:14:06.899><c> the</c><00:14:07.019><c> one</c><00:14:07.120><c> that</c><00:14:07.299><c> Jacob</c><00:14:07.539><c> gazed</c><00:14:07.899><c> upon</c><00:14:08.100><c> during</c><00:14:08.360><c> his</c><00:14:08.639><c> dream.</c>

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.299
Is<00:14:10.059><c> this</c><00:14:10.240><c> not</c><00:14:10.399><c> amazing?</c>

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:14.940
Again,<00:14:12.139><c> this</c><00:14:12.320><c> was</c><00:14:12.519><c> probably</c><00:14:12.899><c> the</c><00:14:13.120><c> same</c><00:14:13.399><c> angel</c><00:14:13.620><c> that</c><00:14:13.820><c> had</c><00:14:13.980><c> followed</c><00:14:14.159><c> Jacob</c><00:14:14.500><c> all</c>

00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:15.879
throughout<00:14:15.200><c> his</c><00:14:15.480><c> life.</c>

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.340
A<00:14:16.539><c> personal</c><00:14:16.980><c> angel</c><00:14:17.340><c> who,</c><00:14:18.200><c> as</c><00:14:18.419><c> Jacob</c><00:14:18.700><c> said,</c><00:14:19.580><c> redeemed</c><00:14:19.919><c> me</c><00:14:20.120><c> from</c>

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:21.320
all<00:14:20.559><c> evil.</c>

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:24.720
This<00:14:21.639><c> was</c><00:14:21.840><c> the</c><00:14:22.059><c> angel</c><00:14:22.279><c> that</c><00:14:22.500><c> had</c><00:14:22.659><c> taken</c><00:14:22.860><c> care</c><00:14:23.100><c> of</c><00:14:23.259><c> him,</c><00:14:23.899><c> the</c><00:14:24.080><c> same</c><00:14:24.240><c> one</c><00:14:24.399><c> that</c><00:14:24.519><c> he</c>

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:26.679
referred<00:14:24.940><c> to</c><00:14:25.120><c> in</c><00:14:25.259><c> Genesis</c><00:14:25.600><c> 48.</c>

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:29.899
This<00:14:27.399><c> angel</c><00:14:27.799><c> was</c><00:14:28.559><c> called</c><00:14:28.860><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.440
This<00:14:30.259><c> angel</c><00:14:30.500><c> bore</c><00:14:30.720><c> God's</c><00:14:31.059><c> name</c><00:14:31.220><c> and</c><00:14:31.460><c> authority</c><00:14:31.840><c> because</c><00:14:32.299><c> he</c>

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.919
was<00:14:32.600><c> God's</c><00:14:33.000><c> representative.</c>

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:36.460
Let<00:14:34.480><c> us</c><00:14:34.659><c> follow</c><00:14:34.860><c> the</c><00:14:35.139><c> angel</c><00:14:35.379><c> through</c><00:14:35.659><c> another</c><00:14:35.940><c> incident</c><00:14:36.279><c> in</c>

00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:37.129
Jacob's<00:14:36.879><c> life.</c>

00:14:37.129 --> 00:14:41.210
Genesis<00:14:38.649><c> 32</c><00:14:39.190><c> verses</c><00:14:39.549><c> 28</c><00:14:40.029><c> to</c><00:14:40.169><c> 30.</c>

00:15:07.809 --> 00:15:09.990
And<00:15:08.250><c> my</c><00:15:08.389><c> life</c><00:15:08.669><c> is</c><00:15:08.909><c> preserved.</c>

00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:13.330
Jacob<00:15:11.330><c> was</c><00:15:11.529><c> wrestling,</c><00:15:12.370><c> struggling</c><00:15:12.750><c> with</c><00:15:12.970><c> a</c><00:15:13.110><c> man,</c>

00:15:13.610 --> 00:15:16.870
and<00:15:13.710><c> Jacob</c><00:15:13.970><c> would</c><00:15:14.210><c> not</c><00:15:14.389><c> let</c><00:15:14.529><c> him</c><00:15:14.730><c> go</c><00:15:14.970><c> until</c><00:15:15.169><c> the</c><00:15:15.330><c> man</c><00:15:15.490><c> had</c><00:15:15.710><c> blessed</c><00:15:15.889><c> him.</c>

00:15:17.230 --> 00:15:20.169
Finally,<00:15:17.889><c> the</c><00:15:17.970><c> man</c><00:15:18.169><c> blessed</c><00:15:18.450><c> him</c><00:15:18.610><c> by</c><00:15:18.809><c> changing</c><00:15:19.110><c> his</c><00:15:19.370><c> name.</c>

00:15:20.629 --> 00:15:23.809
Israel<00:15:21.029><c> was</c><00:15:21.230><c> his</c><00:15:21.429><c> new</c><00:15:21.669><c> name,</c><00:15:22.169><c> and</c><00:15:22.330><c> its</c><00:15:22.529><c> meaning</c><00:15:22.789><c> was</c><00:15:23.309><c> Prince</c>

with<00:15:24.049><c> God.</c>

00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:27.610
Hence<00:15:25.129><c> why</c><00:15:25.330><c> the</c><00:15:25.450><c> man</c><00:15:25.590><c> told</c><00:15:25.850><c> him,</c><00:15:26.509><c> for</c><00:15:26.649><c> as</c><00:15:26.850><c> a</c><00:15:27.049><c> prince</c><00:15:27.230><c> hast</c><00:15:27.490><c> thou</c>

00:15:27.610 --> 00:15:29.070

00:15:30.669 --> 00:15:34.409
He<00:15:31.070><c> had</c><00:15:31.210><c> wrestled</c><00:15:31.509><c> with</c><00:15:31.690><c> the</c><00:15:31.809><c> man,</c><00:15:31.970><c> with</c><00:15:32.129><c> God,</c><00:15:33.070><c> and</c><00:15:33.190><c> had</c><00:15:33.370><c> prevailed.</c>

00:15:34.730 --> 00:15:38.909
In<00:15:35.210><c> addition</c><00:15:35.549><c> to</c><00:15:35.750><c> this,</c><00:15:36.610><c> Jacob</c><00:15:36.710><c> also</c><00:15:37.190><c> called</c><00:15:37.309><c> the</c><00:15:37.450><c> man</c><00:15:37.690><c> God.</c>

00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:43.090
For<00:15:39.370><c> I</c><00:15:39.529><c> have</c><00:15:39.690><c> seen</c><00:15:39.889><c> God</c><00:15:40.210><c> face</c><00:15:40.549><c> to</c><00:15:40.730><c> face,</c><00:15:41.490><c> and</c><00:15:41.590><c> my</c><00:15:41.750><c> life</c><00:15:41.950><c> is</c><00:15:42.169><c> preserved.</c>

00:15:44.049 --> 00:15:46.590
It<00:15:44.169><c> sounds</c><00:15:44.429><c> as</c><00:15:44.590><c> though</c><00:15:44.690><c> he</c><00:15:44.850><c> believed</c><00:15:45.210><c> that</c><00:15:45.429><c> he</c><00:15:45.509><c> had</c><00:15:45.710><c> seen</c><00:15:45.870><c> Yahweh</c><00:15:46.309><c> face</c>

00:16:07.850 --> 00:16:11.210
Yea,<00:16:08.210><c> he</c><00:16:08.370><c> had</c><00:16:08.549><c> power</c><00:16:08.929><c> over</c><00:16:09.149><c> the</c><00:16:09.370><c> angel,</c><00:16:10.110><c> and</c><00:16:10.269><c> prevailed.</c>

00:16:18.429 --> 00:16:21.269

00:16:56.149 --> 00:16:59.309
Hosea<00:16:56.509><c> says</c><00:16:56.850><c> that</c><00:16:57.190><c> Jacob</c><00:16:57.470><c> had</c><00:16:57.649><c> power</c><00:16:57.970><c> with</c><00:16:58.190><c> the</c><00:16:58.389><c> angel,</c><00:16:59.169><c> and</c>

This<00:17:36.190><c> was</c><00:17:36.349><c> not</c><00:17:36.529><c> because</c><00:17:36.750><c> he</c><00:17:36.890><c> was</c><00:17:37.170><c> God,</c><00:17:38.369><c> not</c><00:17:38.589><c> by</c><00:17:38.849><c> any</c><00:17:38.970><c> means.</c>
